“Dr. Longwell was great! She was attentive to my concerns, answered questions with scientific context and explained risks involved with my treatment. She answered questions very directly was to the point (which I prefer). She asked multiple times if I had any other concerns. If you communicate directly with her and are clear about your thoughts/concerns, you’ll receive great care. Front desk and other staff were also very nice! Seems like they see a lot of folks at this location and they are very efficient.”

About Dr. Aleda Longwell

Our practice reserves each patient appointment in order to properly prepare for and carry out your visit. We kindly ask that you please provide at least a 24 hour notice in the event you need to cancel or reschedule. All cancellations within 24 hours of visit time are subject to a cancellation fee. Dr. Aleda A. Longwell is a board-certified dermatologist. Dr. Longwell completed her dermatology residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston Texas, with additional fellowship training in Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Procedural Dermatology, also from Baylor. While there, she received the Resident Teaching Award, an honor elected by medical students for her passion to teach them both medical and surgical dermatology procedures. While serving patients in the medical center district, there were several opportunities for additional training in skin cancer and melanoma through the MD Anderson Hospital, which ultimately became a particular specialty and focus of Dr. Longwell’s continued surgical training. The staff at Baylor also taught at the surrounding hospitals including Ben Taub Community Hospital, Houston Methodist and pediatric rotations through Children’s memorial; all leading teaching tertiary care centers with advanced disease conditions. The diverse population of Houston also allowed for both superior teaching and learning opportunities of dermatologic conditions, particularly in skin of color, where disease states often appear differently. In addition to a love of general dermatology and skin conditions, Dr. Longwell decided to pursue a surgical Mohs fellowship to further refine her surgical technique and training. During this fellowship, there was additional procedural training in a variety of laser treatments, including Fraxel, neuromodulators, and other fillers. Dr. Longwell has a daily goal and a commitment to a team approach with her patients and toward providing exceptional care and service to every patient she sees.

I booked an "Annual Skin Screening" with Aleda Longwell at the Berman Skin Institute, knowing that my health insurance provides me with free annual skin screenings. The appointment itself was disappointing. The visual inspection of my skin maybe took 30 seconds and was not very thorough. When I was walking out of the appointment, I asked if I needed to sign anything, and they said "no" and that I was all set. However, 1.5 months later, I have now received a sizable bill from Berman Skin Institute. Instead of my visit being coded as an "Annual Skin Screening," Berman Skin Institute coded the visit as "Office Visit, New Patient - comprehensive." I called up Berman Skin Institute's billing department, and they told me that the dermatologist is not able to actually code the "Annual Skin Screening" and that it is reserved for a PCP. If this is true, then Aleda Longwell (and others at Berman Skin Institute) should not claim to offer Annual Skin Screenings through ZocDoc. They do not.
Dr. Longwell is great! I highly recommend her.
The doctor was efficient and quickly and clearly addressed my questions. I would definitely return when needed. The staff at the check-in desk were also friendly, professional, listened to and addressed my questions, including calling others for more information about insurance.
